Alisa and Veronica,

I see, Alisa, so far you and I are the only ones to suggest glazing the
inside first=3B several other people glaze the outside first, wax, and then
glaze the inside. I'm sure that works just fine. I am writing to clarify
the way I glaze the outside=3B I place the inverted bowl on 2 sticks over a
pan, and pour the glaze on the pot, after waxing the foot. If it's a
platter too large to fit over a pan, I hold it inverted with my left hand
and rotate while pouring, over the bucket . This is a little tricky, you
can get back-splatters...I don't know how tidy an effect you want.

Dear Ann and others interested,
I glaze the liner first because it saves messing up the outside glaze while
handling the pot to get the inside glazed. I have tried pouring the glaze =
over
a pot that is standing on dowels, over a bucket to catch the glaze. I do =
not
use this method because time and time again, I am a terrible aim, and more =
so, I
do not like the uneven glaze rim I get where the pot sits on the dowels. I
usually dunk the pots for the outside glaze (avoiding a big air pop by =
angleing
the pot into the glaze, or pour it like Ann if there is very limited glaze =
left.

Best regards,
